    This 8k receiver gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Very user friendly and easy to set up. Very pleased with the dialogue enhancement. Purchased mainly for home theatre and highly recommended for that purpose. Plenty of power for our large room.

    Works well with a lot of capabilities. We use it for surround sound for the TV and ancillary speakers. Can play music in one room while playing TV sound in another or play the same in both rooms.

    I upgraded to this Magnolia version Denon amp from an older Samsung. What a difference! It’s like my entire theater system came to life. Setup is very easy works perfectly with my Samsung TV, Xbox X, Roku and Chromecast.

    Overall it is a great receiver. I just don't like you have to have it go through the TV to be able to set it up. Otherwise the sound and picture quality going through this system is amazing.

    Haven't explored all the features yet, so right now the set up with it is pretty simple. But so far we have had no issues and it works great with our in-ceiling speakers and record player.
